Hide Newest User Settings Options

[Pfizz]

Hi - I was wondering if there would be any way to expand the Whos Online settings to be able to choose the actual groups which which can see Whos Online and/or to block specific groups? As it is now the options are very limited. Thank you.

Not without a total rewrite of the extension, so I am afraid that this is not going to happen any time soon (if at all)

[Pfizz]

No worries. Thanks.

I discovered a small bug in the current version. I posted it here: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... pic/232406

Thanks.

I'm afraid I am in hospital with a broken hip right now. , and all the code is at home. I will look at it once I have recovered and back home.

So sorry to hear about your hip. I hope it heals up very quickly.

Meanwhile, I think I might have fixed it by going back and copying and replacing code from version 1.1.0 and pasting it into version 1.1.1-RC2. Thus, in the index_body_stat_blocks_before.html file I replaced the existing code of:

Code: Select all

{% EVENT index_body_block_online_prepend %}
{{ TOTAL_USERS_ONLINE ~ lang('ONLINE_EXPLAIN') }}<br />{{ RECORD_USERS }}<br /> <br />{{ LOGGED_IN_USER_LIST }}
{% if LEGEND %}<br /><em>{{ lang('LEGEND') ~ lang('COLON') }} {{ LEGEND }}</em>{% endif %}
{% EVENT index_body_block_online_append %}

with:

Code: Select all

{% EVENT index_body_block_online_prepend %}
{{ TOTAL_USERS_ONLINE }} ({{ lang('ONLINE_EXPLAIN') }})<br />{{ RECORD_USERS }}<br /> <br />{{ LOGGED_IN_USER_LIST }}
{% if LEGEND %}<br /><em>{{ lang('LEGEND') }}{{ lang('COLON') }} {{ LEGEND }}</em>{% endif %}
{% EVENT index_body_block_online_append %}

I believe that this has fixed it. Truth though is that I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to code or which file of code I needed to edit. So I just took a guess. And this was my first guess, but seemed to be the right one. Sometimes you just get lucky it seems.

Get well soon.

Hi my rule of thumb is if it works then its probably correct I'll check properly when I can.

Thanks for the wishes, I'm awaiting the operation (hopefully) anytime soon

Thank you. I am seeing this right now on our site: In total there are 45 users online :: 4 registered, 1 hidden and 40 guests (based on users active over the past 5 minutes) so all looks good and it appears to match the original phpbb stock text. The code I changed it to was also just a copy and paste from your own older code as I mentioned, so I think its all good.

I hope you are not in a lot of pain and/or at least they got you on some useful meds to help make you more comfortable. At the moment I am dealing with some plantar fasciitis that just came on. Apparently the pain can last for months and I am not even sure how it happened. Hope it gets better sooner than later. Pain like this is no fun.

Anyway, after I made the fix to our site I suddenly started having a remote avatar problem. I am almost 100% certain, or I should say I am 100% certain that this edit to the extension code didn't cause it, but the timing was serendipitous so I ended up reversing the changes I made to the extension and the remote avatar problem still exists so that's how I know its a separate issue. I have found a way to partially fix the avatar problem, but would still like to try and figure out what is causing it in the first place so I can sort it out. I also posted something about it here:

Best wishes...

I know its been a while but I am finally starting to feel a bit more 'normal' and have looked at the extension again.

Yes you are correct, for some reason I mucked up and didn't check things properly.

I'll try to upload the corrected version tomorrow.
